TEDActive
In 2010, a spectacular group of people will converge on Palm Springs, California, to experience a high-definition live simulcast of the TED Conference in an intimate, immersive setting. TEDActive , formerly called TED@PalmSprings, blends the allure of the future with the mystique of a desert oasis, complete with live music, exclusive live talks and demos, and riveting conversation with makers and doers you'll never forget.
TED2010 (SOLD OUT)
The Long Beach conference waitlist is completely subscribed; we are no longer accepting new applications. Places are still available at TEDActive, our Palm Springs simulcast experience, featuring all the mainstage content from TED2010 alongside on-site speakers, performances and activities in an intimate, immersive setting. Alternatively, you can enjoy the webcast of the TED2010 conference by registering for a TED Associate membership.
A few things to know about TED2010 registration:
- Only a limited number of TED registrations are available each year; they're granted at the discretion of the TED team based on a broad set of criteria aimed at ensuring a rich and stimulating exchange of ideas among a diverse group of peers.
- Standard registrations cost $6,000. A limited number of discounted registrations are made available for those in the education or non-profit worlds, who could not otherwise attend. Applications for discounted registrations will be accepted at a later date.
- A Standard TED2010 registration extends from March 15, 2009 - March 14, 2010. Benefits include attendance at the TED2010 Conference (February 9-13, 2010), as well as bi-monthly TED Book Club mailings, a set of DVDs archiving the TED2010 conference, and priority for 2011 registration.
